Who are Ergo at Work?
We are a team of Chartered Physiotherapists each with over 15 years of clinical experience who also have post graduate qualifications and extensive experience in undertaking Ergonomic Workstation Assessments and providing workplace Health, Safety and Wellness training.
In 2003, we began providing Physiotherapy and Ergonomic Consultancy services from three central London clinics as well as on-site clinics within various London based companies. In 2012 we decided to separate the ergonomic side of the business and Ergo at Work Ltd. was formed. Our mission is to provide comprehensive Ergonomic services by highly skilled and knowledgeable Chartered Physiotherapists.
What we do
We have undertaken ergonomic workstation assessments and trained thousands of workers from the world’s largest internet search engine company to individual home office workers. We focus on improving a worker’s comfort and wellbeing at their workstation so that they can feel happier and more productive.
As clinical practitioners, we would often find it frustrating to have “cured” someone following physiotherapy treatment only for them to be sent back into a workplace that was not optimal and eventually recreated the same injury. Our aim is to help companies prevent workplace injuries by educating employers and employees on optimal workplace design, equipment, working practices, techniques, and postures.
We are Independent
Importantly, we are not affiliated with any companies who sell or distribute ergonomic products. As such we can offer independent unbiased advice.

In addition, we provide ‘walk-bys’ for individuals needing a quick check of their workstation e.g. following a desk move, or who may require new equipment to ensure that it is suitable.
